    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I support this Statement by Sen. Kwamboka, the indefatigable strategist who is seated there, blazing in red. You know that red is the colour of love, and we are discussing very important matters. I want to speak to our young people, the teenagers, and tell them that most of them are jogging around. I know of a group of people from Githurai and Wendani who jog around Kenyatta University (KU). I just want to remind them that the only jogging that is required is vertical jogging, and not any other kind of jogging. This is because the consequences are very critical. Parents need to be careful because we have seen an increase in domestic violence. If they are fighting in front of children and the children are finding solace amongst themselves, this is the result because they are very idle and have no one to guide them. Number two, the other issue concerns the way our community is living, especially those who are in urban areas. We no longer live in communities where older person can advise young people. Parents are busy trying to look for food because they do not have food, and the young people are left on their own. It is actually a breakdown of our social traditional system, but it also brings out the challenge because--- At some point, I was actually a high school teacher doing my teaching practice somewhere. Sometimes, I used to meet my students over the weekend without uniform. When you meet a 17-year old, you may think that she is a fully grown person that you are dealing with, until they remind you that, “teacher, I am actually your student.” The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
